[7.2.0-1] "LinkageError occurred while loading main class" due to java version
Description:
I'm seeing the following error when running the latest version of Bazel.
Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class com.google.devtools.build.lib.bazel.Bazel
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/Bazel has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0
Additional info:
- package version(s): 7.2.0-1
- link to upstream bug report, if any: No upstream issue, and Bazel works as expected using
bazelisk-1.20.0-2which downloads 7.2.1 from head. Slightly different version, but I couldn't find an upstream issue. Didn't verify on 7.2.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Switch to a bazel workspace root
- Run
